Event Description
Geologists just look at rocks, right?
In this talk, BBC TV geologist Professor Chris Jackson invites you to think again, and to consider the almost unlimited ways in which geology and geologists shape our lives, livelihoods, and even Labour’s red wall.
Chris will take you on a multi-billion-year journey through space and time to reveal how many of the great social, environmental, and economic challenges of the 21st Century require geologists.
